Synopsis:When Imperial Intelligence chief Ysanne Isard
discovers that acting-Emperor Pestage has made a deal
with the Rebel Alliance, it appears that the Rebels'
ticket to Imperial Center has been punched. But a Rebel
operative witnesses Pestage's capture, and Rogue
Squadron is assigned to go after him.
Their rest and relaxation over, Rogue Squadron and a
Rebel task force descend on the world where Sate Pestage,
one-time Emperor-proxy, has gone into exile. If the New
Republic wants to claim Imperial Center for themselves
and turn the tide of the war, it is imperative that they
rescue Pestage, wanted by the Empire for high treason.
The Rogues stage a dangerous rescue of Sate Pestage. Now
is their chance to undermine Ysanne Isard, who has her
own designs on the Imperial throne. But a power struggle
in the Empire's highest circles has Isard cornered, and
that's when the Imperial Intelligence Chief is most
dangerous!
As Rogue Squadron prepares for a nightmare showdown
against Imperial fighters and ground troops, Isard
begins her own personal war in the corridors of power on
Imperial Center. A war fought with hidden bombs,
double-crossing servants, and knives in the back!
